Messrs Alexander Delaney and VIII
liam Simpkin were examined as experts.
Each of the gentlemen said that they
had examined the iron of The exploded
boiler and rom the character of the
fracture they considered the iron of am
inferior character They had small
piece of the iron, which was Of crys-
talline character, with no ductility, and
the fracture being very short. They also
said that no expert could have discovered
the imperlections of the iron from an eX-
tcrnal inspection. The only way it could
have been ascertained was by cutting out
piece and putting it to regular test ;
that il was impossible for the purchaser
or user to have determined the condition
Of the boiler by any examination they
could have made.
Mr. Simpkin said that it was his opin

The falls Of Niagara are IA
miliar to all, aud came to exist through
causes natural and casY Of explana-
ton, inasmuch as the whole secret lies
in the character Of the formations over
which the river flows, viz. crust
made up of from sixty to one hundred
feet of comparatively hard limestone
lying in nearly horizontal position.
beneath which Is deep deposit of
shales and sandstones, Whenever the
river in weaing its channel back

stone would naturally resist the ero-

Here also a mighty waterway has

for a geology-reading inventor by the
name of Robert Bates to suggest Il
theory which, illuminated with what
little investigation we have been able
to give it, promises to offer a solution
of the question, or to assist in its solu-

erosion was accomplished by means
of 4 mighty cataract which began far
down the river near its original mouth,
and by gradual retrocession dug out
the valley-like gorge which IS SO

its course, and left the high bluff walls

posting heavy beds of sand at the
